Taylor Introduces the Gold Label Series – A New Standard in Acoustic Excellence

Taylor Guitars has long been celebrated for innovation, precision craftsmanship, and a commitment to elevating the acoustic guitar experience. With the introduction of the new Gold Label series, Taylor takes another confident step forward, offering players a refined selection of instruments that blend iconic designs with luxurious aesthetic and tonal upgrades. These models aren’t just about flash — they’re about feel, response, and the kind of depth that inspires music at every touchpoint.

At Sims Music, we're proud to feature the Taylor Gold Label 814e Natural — one of the first models released in this exciting new series, and a stunning example of what makes Gold Label guitars so special.

The Gold Label Philosophy

Gold Label guitars build on Taylor’s legacy of masterful acoustic design, enhancing beloved models like the 814e with elevated appointments and premium components. These instruments retain everything players love about Taylor — playability, clarity, and expression — but introduce a new level of sophistication in both look and sound.

These aren’t limited editions or collector’s novelties. They’re made for real-world musicians who want to experience Taylor craftsmanship at its absolute finest.

The 814e has always been a flagship of the Taylor lineup. Now, in its Gold Label form, it becomes a true showpiece.

The guitar features:

• Solid Sitka Spruce Top – A classic tonewood choice offering balance, warmth, and projection

• Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides – Known for its deep, rich lows and shimmering highs

• Ebony Fingerboard and Bridge – Smooth, durable, and visually striking

• Taylor’s Grand Auditorium Body Shape – A versatile design suited for both fingerstyle and strumming

• Expression System® 2 Electronics – Studio-grade tone, whether on stage or in the studio

• Gold Appointments – Subtle, elegant hardware that sets the Gold Label apart visually

• Deluxe Taylor Hardshell Case – Because instruments of this caliber deserve the best protection

The result is a guitar that looks and feels like luxury — but more importantly, sounds like it. Whether you’re writing in your living room, recording in the studio, or performing live, the 814e Natural Gold Label delivers a consistent and inspiring experience.
